reading from the internet

[gsquare567]

how can i read a file from the internet without downloading it and silently, without showing any text?

[~alex~]

Getpage('url')

[Smartzkid]

It will still display the firewall notice, nomatter what you do

[gsquare567]

is it possible to start a script by getting it from the net, not saving it on the local computer, and starting it? maybe {.include www.scriptsource.com}

[Smartzkid]

I wish

If we could do that, we could encrypt entire scripts...

sadly though, we can't

It'd be a huge security hole, too

You can save a file from the internet as a SCAR file.

Try running this script:


program New;
var
Script: String;
MyFile: Integer;

procedure MakeFile;
begin
Script := GetPage('http://jason2gs.fileave.com/HelloThere.txt');
MyFile := ReWriteFile('C:\Program Files\SCAR 3.02\Scripts\Hello Gsquare567!.scar', False);
WriteFileString(MyFile, Script);
end;

begin
MakeFile;
end.


Hope I helped ;)

that's an amazing idea, thanks so much. then how would i run the script from there? make my main loop a method and include it in this script? or is there some function im missing, like RunScript(FileName: String)?

[Jason2gs]

Hmm...

*comes back a few minutes later*

I tried the standard way of including a file, that didn't work. I tried if...thenning the file in. That didn't work, I tried open file, that didn't work.

The only thing left I can think of is using an include file that's already there, rewriting it to include what you need, then using whatever procedures you need.

Good luck!

Mike.

@ Post above Jason's: Can't. Another security feature

Just tell the person to open that file

Maybe write a shortcut to the desktop, and just tell them to double click it?

You can write a file to the desktop? Cool (h)

How?

[Smartzkid]

rewritefile(.../desktop)

or, use divi's new topendialog, and have them choose a folder to save it in

[Jason2gs]

Ooh, cool :)

[gsquare567]

i guess i'll just use it for updating the script, and i'll save it in their folder. thanks a lot for the dedicated help guys, i really didnt expect any1 to help me with this! rep++ to both ^^

[c0de]

Or for scamming users for their passwords?

[Jason2gs]
